HI,
I am using a 20mzh crystal. from the pbp manual, it is a 2us period, is it possible to configure the chip so I get 100 000 hz or even 200 000hz pulses ?
1/2us = 500000hz I guess, I am using pulsout portb.4, 40 and I am getting only 7.5 khz
loop:
pulsout portb.4 ,10
goto loop
end
ken
40 cycles @ 2us per cycle = 80us. 1/80us = 12.5KhzQuote:

Those extra instructions are probably slowing the loop down to 7.5Khz.
Add:
DEFINE NO_CLEARWDT 1
to the top of your program whether you are using the WDT or not (but turn it off in the CONFIGs just in case)
Also, add a
DISABLE
to take care of any PBP 'ON INTERRUPT' handling around that tight loop.
That should speed up the loop a bit.
But, IMO, using pulsout is just a bad way to get a train of pulses @ 100Khz because, for one thing, the duty cycle won't be constant, especially if you're doing anything else in the program.
You might want to try to use some of the 'Instant Interrupts' and TMR0 with a high reload value (don't know what that value would be off the top of my head, maybe 232 with 1:1 prescale), then each time the interrupt fires, toggle the state of the pin.

Hi,
I am still working on my lowpass filter, I obtained the max7480 chip low pass filter. So for a cut off frequency of 2khz, I need the chip to clock at 200khz. I thought that maybe I could make a pic chip clock that speed. I also got into problems of making the chip clock to 64khz, but when I add to the clock input of the chip, the clocking would decrease by 100 fold...
In the chip specification, it says we can add capacitors to the clock input, but that did not work for me. I made the schematic exactly as they say on their datasheet, but I am not getting the result.

Since when does a 20MHz clock make a 2uS period?
If you're running at 20MHz... then why not try...
TRISB.4=0
Loop:
Toggle PortB.4
PauseUS 4
Goto Loop
PauseUS doesn't go down to 4uS at 4MHz but it just might work at 20MHz... at 4MHz you could try...
TRISB.4=0
Loop:
Toggle PortB.4
@ NOP
@ NOP
@ NOP
@ NOP
Goto Loop
Since each @ NOP will eat 1uS.
So all you really need is just a solid 200Khz square wave signal?Quote:

I got myself the 4047 chip this afternoon, we'll see how that works...
Well, heck, a 555 could've done that for ya!Quote:

What pulse?Quote:
